Is it illegal for minors to work?

Minors under the age of sixteen are illegal. According to the provisions of the Civil Law, citizens who have reached the age of 16 but are under the age of 18 are regarded as people with full capacity for civil conduct, indicating that people over the age of 16 can work.

It is illegal for employers to recruit minors under the age of 16 to work, except for literary, sports and special craft units. If the employing unit illegally recruits personnel, the labor administrative department shall order it to make corrections. The employing unit shall not commit illegal acts just because it can pay less wages or solve the tense situation of employing people. Once found, the fine to be paid is much higher than the salary paid, and it will also be punished.

/kloc-people under the age of 0/6 are child laborers in our country. According to the laws of our country, employers are prohibited from employing child laborers. Once the unit is found to have violated the law, it is necessary to punish the unit accordingly. If an employer illegally recruits minors under the age of 16, the labor administrative department shall order it to make corrections and impose a fine; If the circumstances are serious, the business license shall be revoked by the market supervision and management department. It is not illegal to recruit/kloc-people under the age of 0/8. Child labor refers to minors under the age of 16. Workers who have reached the age of 16 but have not reached the age of 18 are not child laborers, but are called underage workers in the labor law.

Employers who use child labor in violation of state regulations are illegal employees. The law allows employers to hire underage workers aged 65,438+06, which is a legal employment behavior, but the relevant provisions of national laws on special protection for underage workers should be strictly observed.

The work that underage workers cannot do is as follows:

1. Minors are not allowed to engage in underground, toxic and harmful labor, inflammable and explosive, chemical burns, thermal burns and other high-risk operations, as well as radioactive operations and forest protection operations in the workplace.

2. Dust operations above the first level in the national standard for hazard classification of productive dust operations.

3. Toxic operations above the first level in the national standard "Classification of Toxic Operations".

4. Work at heights above Grade II of the national classification standard for work at heights.
